The $28 million full-floor penthouse at the BIG-designed Grove at Grand Bay towers includes a rooftop pool, four-car garage and ten bathrooms (+ slideshow).

The 10,100-square-foot (938-square-metres), five-bedroom condominium includes eight full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, a gym, staff quarters, a spa, a 2500-square-foot (232-square-metres) terrace, and 2000-square-foot (185-square-metres) rooftop garden with a pool.

Images have been released to tempt buyers into spending $28 million on the property, which equates to approximately £19 million.

The penthouse sits atop one of the pair of 20-storey twisting towers currently nearing completion in the Coconut Grove section of Miami.

The images show an open-plan kitchen with a marble-topped island. The undivided dining and great room have floor to ceiling windows overlooking the wraparound balconies. The master bedroom has a large sitting area.

The $28 million condo is the only full-floor penthouse and the only residence of its size in the development, which includes 98 units wrapped in exterior balconies. The other tower has two penthouses on its top level.

Bjarke Ingels, founder of the Danish architecture firm, described the twisting towers as an "evolution" of the local urban residential typology.

"Miami has developed a contemporary condominium vernacular that combines brise-soleil style balcony shading with floor-to-ceiling windows in order to best enjoy the panoramic water views of the area," said Ingels. "We propose to elaborate on these indigenous elements and continue the evolution of the local condominium architecture."

Sales of luxury condos have come under increasing scrutiny by the US government. The Department of the Treasury recently announced new disclosure rules for all-cash purchases of residential property in New York and Miami in an effort to crack-down on money laundering.

Plans for the two twisting, 20-storey towers were first unveiled in 2012

Too bad it will probably end up as a parking lot for someone's cash instead of amazing hurricane observatory.

You don't need an observatory to view a hurricane. They are really big and really close in Florida. :)

BIG phoned this one in. Very dull.

Not bad for an office building.

It's pretty cool to think that all this high-dollar real estate will soon be underwater.

I like the idea of billionaires shelling out the money they acquired at the people's and planet's expense to buy something that we will be able to visit on dive trips as it is slowly taken back by the sea.
